when there is a crisis, vice president biden calls. his calls seem to have less influence as time has gone on. host: let's go to lincoln on the republican line. caller: i get in contact with many people are around the world. i have a few friends in egypt and kuwait. i am more worried about my friend in kuwait. is there a possibility iraq might reinvade kuwait anytime soon? guest: no. host: what are the current relationships? guest: understand the question because there are still issues. military lacks the capacity to do anything like that. iraq has no air force. that is one reason is so easy for the iranians to fly through their territory. there was an operation in 2008 in basrah that maliki commanded. the united states military had not provided a lot of support and advisers, he probably would have failed. i do not think maliki has any reason to focus on kuwait. his big concern is syria. he is worried the fall of assad will embolden sunnis and kurds in syrian and iraq and that the correlation of forces will turn against him. that is hi
